    I really like this article, Jennifer! It's interesting how many similarities there are between the authors' IPE (interprofessional education) program and the personal learning networks (PLNs) we will be focusing on.

    Hi Logan, great find on this little video! It's a clever way to illustrate these concepts. It's nice to see something creative being used instead of just an article in a journal or a blog post!

Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 2 views

  •  
    This source focuses on connectivity and what it means for learners. It touches on the idea that we now need to teach students to make connections instead of assuming that they understand how to make them already. It also talks a little bit about how making connections help people learn in different ways and learn how to access new information.
  •  
    The link given above doesn't work as it is. It has an extra quote at the end. You may want to remove it. Connectivism is presented in this articles as an alternative to traditional learning theories such as behaviorism and constructivism. I found it valuable to refresh my memory regarding different learning theories and their limitations. It was valuable to take a deep look at connectivism and the explanation related to how it could be the learning theory of present day digital age.

Connected teaching and learning: The uses and implications of connectivism in an online... - 2 views

  •  
    The authors argue that there is no difference between theories of teaching and theories of learning (rendering the debate over whether connectivism is one or the other irrelevant). The elaborate on the ideas that instructors in connectivism are participants in a class learning along with the students, rather than being the sources of knowledge, and that one important role of instructors may be to defend the connections of the past so that they will be carried forward. I found this to be one of the most illuminating articles on connectivism that I've read thus far.

The Value of Connectivism -- THE Journal - 1 views

  •  
    In this article by Patricia Deubel, Ph.D., she states how connectivism is a learning process that is continuously changing. What an individual learns is always changing and that certain internet tools have clouded the quality online. However, she discusses Siemen's learning ecology such as a variety of learner types (beginning to advanced) as well as different spaces to work on what the individual is looking to accomplish.

In Connectivism, No One Can Hear You Scream - 5 views

  •  
    This article focuses on the novice experience in MOOCs, and how the theory may badly serve some of its participants. The author tries to explain this in relation to the theory of connectivism. It explains how technology and learning novices, and their sense of confidence interact with Connectivist theory. This article is worth the read, if you are looking at the limitations of connectivism.

    Great explanation! After reading this article, I definitely agree with your points. The theory of connectivism is very interesting to read about. I definitely believe that it builds confidence with interaction. Great read. Thank you for posting it.

    Thanks for posting this article. In my job as an online teacher I see many students with low self efficacy and can definitely relate experience with the author about this.
  •  
    This was really a fascinating look at the "other" side of connectivism. Having learned a bit about cMOOCs while working on this assignment, I agree that a connectivist MOOC is probably not the most suitable place for a novice learner, and it assumes that participants will enter with a certain level of prerequisite knowledge.

    Great website for students and teachers to take notes on projects and daily work. Prevents misplacing the notes and difficulty in reading them because of messy handwriting.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Sherman Alexie, Book - Barnes & Noble - 0 views

  • Chris ShoemakerCopyright 2006 Reed Business Information. - School Library Journal Gr 7-10Exploring Indian identity, both self and tribal, Alexie's first young adult novel is a semiautobiographical chronicle of Arnold Spirit, aka Junior, a Spokane Indian from Wellpinit, WA. The bright 14-year-old was born with water on the brain, is regularly the target of bullies, and loves to draw. He says, "I think the world is a series of broken dams and floods, and my cartoons are tiny little lifeboats." He expects disaster when he transfers from the reservation school to the rich, white school in Reardan, but soon finds himself making friends with both geeky and popular students and starting on the basketball team. Meeting his old classmates on the court, Junior grapples with questions about what constitutes one's community, identity, and tribe. The daily struggles of reservation life and the tragic deaths of the protagonist's grandmother, dog, and older sister would be all but unbearable without the humor and resilience of spirit with which Junior faces the world. The many characters, on and off the rez, with whom he has dealings are portrayed with compassion and verve, particularly the adults in his extended family. Forney's simple pencil cartoons fit perfectly within the story and reflect the burgeoning artist within Junior. Reluctant readers can even skim the pictures and construct their own story based exclusively on Forney's illustrations. The teen's determination to both improve himself and overcome poverty, despite the handicaps of birth, circumstances, and race, delivers a positive message in a low-key manner. Alexie's tale of self-discovery is a first purchase for all libraries.

Student Response Technology: Empirically grounded or just a gimmick? - International Jo... - 0 views

  •  
    Abstract: Student Response Technology (SRT) involves the use of hand-held remotes by students during classroom lectures to electronically respond to questions. This study surveyed 350 students enrolled in one of 13 lower-division university science classes taught by five different instructors who used SRT. The survey probed students' perceptions of SRT in terms of enhancing student learning, and investigated which features of SRT students felt had the greatest/least impact on student learning. The majority of students reported that the SRT increased their content understanding, class participation, alertness, and interactions with fellow students, helped with examination preparation, provided important and immediate instructor feedback, and made class more enjoyable. Students in this study scored more positively than peer groups on survey questions related to student engagement in academic and intellectual experiences, suggesting that SRT helps to promote student engagement. Important instructor actions identified during this study that augment the enhancing effects of SRT on student learning, even in large lecture settings, include designing clear, substantive questions, reviewing correct and incorrect answers with students, and making pedagogical adjustments based on class responses.
